The team that brought us Dewey's first picture book returns with this holiday tale for readers 4 to 7. Now a fixture at his small-town Iowa library, the little orange cat who was rescued by librarian Vicki Myron is about to experience his first Christmas. At first, Dewey Readmore Books doesn't know what to make of the box of decorations, but he soon decides the artificial tree is his present, and he decorates it his own way—in a tangle of red yarn. Steve James again illustrates the tale in realistically detailed, beguilingly furry paintings.
